PHOTOGRAPHER SPOTLIGHT: JESSICA BURKE

JESSICA’S STYLE: ARTISTIC. VIBRANT. EDITORIAL.

Jessica Burke is a photographer and artist based in South Louisiana. Jessica began her career in photography by immersing herself in the field working and studying under numerous professional photographers before opening her own studio. “I learn from everyone I work with,” she says. “From technique to new perspectives, I’ve discovered that there is no one ‘right way’ to approach a wedding and I’m always looking for ways to increase my skill and explore new ideas.”

Jessica has an extensive background in both film and digital photography, as well as graphic design and studio art. “There is nothing more exciting to me than capturing a work of art with my camera,” she shares. “When I get the lighting just perfect and everything comes together, it’s the best feeling ever.”

“My philosophy in photographing a wedding is to capture the story as a whole,” she says. “I capture everything, from what I call “scene setters” or ambiance images of the space, to the fine details. Of course I’m capturing the action and emotion throughout the day. I want you to be able to look at your wedding photographs and be transported back to the day - to relive the emotions as you experienced them.”

“I love drama in my images,” she says of her personal style. “Lighting, emotion, movement - give me ALL the drama!”

Jessica’s favorite clients to work with appreciate the idea of being fully present for their day. “It’s so important to make time to indulge in the experience of the day,” she says. “The wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. So many couples feel like they miss their own wedding because they are rushing or worrying about things that just aren’t important. Soak up every moment you can!”
